Dr. Asim Qureshi from CAGE International, the NGO recently smeared by Michael Gove as “extremist”, delivers a masterclass on the new definition of “extremism” and the “disaster” of its announcement.
Summary
We discuss the Labour party’s disastrous blunder and its apparent contempt for Muslims, the status of Muslims in the UK, and why they’re attacking thinkers like Sayyid Qutb, Hassan al-Banna, and Mawdudi.
On top of that, we look at the inner workings of the shady Extremism Analysis Unit that’s keeping tabs on you.
And not only that, but the Islamophobic policymakers have even turned on their own collaborators within the Muslim community!

Jazak Allahu khayran for sharing your feedback.
While I agree that everyone has a right to free speech and freedom of beliefs, I also know that Islam does not respect these things. Because of this truth, I don’t see why people who are not Muslim should not have reservations about this religion being so prolific in the U.K. Or other traditionally non Muslim countries. History has shown this religion to be intolerant of those who have different beliefs. At best, they are forced to pay money to continue to live in the places they lived prior to Islamitization, at worst they are killed. How Muslim people cannot see this concern is a puzzle to me.
